Joystick touch

thorep

Hi! Im moving from Buildbox to Gamesalad.
I have a game ( top down view) where i can move in all 4 directions and have to avoid the walls.
The game is for iphone.

In buildbox i used the joystick touch control to move the player smooth in all directions by touch.
How do i do this in game salad?

Create an attribute called TouchX and another called TouchY (make them both integer attributes).

Rule:

If touch is pressed

change attribute Game.TouchX to Game.Touches.Touch1.X

change attribute Game.TouchY to Game.Touches.Touch1.Y
____________________________________________________
move to Game.TouchX, Game.TouchY relative to scene
at a speed of 300 (or whatever speed you want)

Hope this helps! By the way, gamesalad forum is an awesome place for any help.
